Synopsis:
In the far east, there is the country of Yanato. Since ancient times, it has been believed that this land is home to two worlds: the world at the top, where the gods live, and the world at the bottom, where humans live. Sakuna, a high-ranking and somewhat clumsy goddess, resides in the world of gods. Thus, the daughter of a war god and a harvest goddess, she leads a lazy and carefree life, wasting the resources accumulated by her parents... But until one day, due to an unexpected incident, Sakuna is banished from the city of gods and sent to the isolated, demon-infested island of Hinoe!
Though in this barren land, where even the next day's food is uncertain, Sakuna must plow the soil, grow rice, and face the demons. Together with humans who were lost in the world of the gods, the coexistence of this group begins, led by the young goddess of the harvest, where the rice husks dance in the wind!
